I painted the stripes on that boat when I worked for Trick Paint, we painted all the Midnights. Looks like it's holding up pretty well, was probably around 84-85ish IIRC

Thanks for all the compliments. The fastest I have run the boat so far is 78 on gps. I am still testing the boat setups. I have the engines turning outward now & the best so far is 74.9 gps. The boat handles so much better turning outward that I am going to leave it that way for now. I had the boat down in Sebring last weekend for an event, boat ran flawless. I will keep you updated on progress. My winter project for it is to put in back seat.

Nice job...congrats!
The whole outboard thing has grown on me...a LOT.
So much that I just had Shaun Torrente Racing build me
a nice little motor for my old school Carrera 24 SS7M.

I took the boat out today on the Winter Haven chain of lakes, I went to see the water ski show at the new Legoland, It was very cool. I went through the chain to make sure I could make it through all the canals, there is a boat parade in 2 weeks that I am going to decorate the boat up for, no pictures at this time but will have more soon.

Here are the shells for my back seat project. I am going to make an aluminum stand to mount the 3 seats for a back seat. Project moving all slowly.

I took the boat out for a run on the Okeechobee waterway this past weekend. We ran from Moore Haven to Labelle, Made a stop at the Swamp Cabbage Festival , & then continued on to Alva. It was about a 100 mile round trip ride. The boat is running good. Not good on top end speed yet, I had lots of fuel in the boat for the run so it only topped out about 71 mph. We had a great time. There was about 14 boats that showed up.
